      - A Lesson At The Zoo: Enhancing Field Trips with iPads & Annotated Fieldtrip
        Students use iPads to document (photos, interviews, notes, videos), review and publish field trip experience
      - VoiceThread Docents on the iPads- App: VoiceThread
        Students use iPads to engage in research, documentation, threaded discussion and reflection, as they teach others about reptiles.
      - iPads (or other devices) and Literature Circles – co-starring Edmodo
        Students use iPads to enhance, simplfy and streamline the Lit Circle process.
    - Secondary
      - Math How-To Videos
        Students use iPads to create videos that explain a mathematical concept, conjecture, algorithm, or game in the style of the Khan Academy, etc.
      - Photabulary - Episode 2 (archived copy- lower quality)
        Students use iPads to create photo glossaries using TypeDrawing and Keynote.
      - iPads (or other devices) and Literature Circles – co-starring Edmodo
        Students use iPads to enhance, simplfy and streamline the Lit Circle process.
  - Activity Questions/Reflections - Pick 1 or 2
    - Should SAMR be viewed more as a continuum?
    - Is Redefinition easier to imagine outside of the classroom/school/schoolday?
    - Is Redefinition different for a 20+ year teacher with little tech experience versus a 20+ year teacher comfortable and experienced with a wide variety of technologies and activities, versus a new teacher who is a "digital native" with classroom technology versus a new teacher who only uses technology for personal use?
    - How does SAMR compare to other models? ETaP, LoTi, Arizona Technology Integration Matrix, or Florida Technology Integration Matrix
    - Is anytime/anywhere access to the internet through mobile devices an element that could be used for redefinition?
    - Maker Movement - Interesting to think of this as redefinition, though it is a return to the past in some senses. Still, think about what opportunities new/cheaper tools allow in addition to the worldwide sharing that is accompanying the movement.
    - Could "augmented reality" apps and "alternative reality games" be used for redefinition?
    - Is transformation (modification or redefinition) easier to achieve knowing the affordances and constraints of an app?
  - Apptivity Exploration & Tweaks
    - More Apptivities
  - How would you tweak these apptivities to score higher on SAMR or Bloom's?
